xAI launches Grok 4.7 at Grok 4.6’s price

xAI says Grok 4.7 improves on 4.6 without changing price or speed. It is available in Grok Build, Cursor, and the API, with higher scores on several agent benchmarks.

TL;DR

The official launch post describes a larger base model and a longer reinforcement-learning run aimed at multi-hour work. Artificial Analysis’s evaluation found the biggest external gains in agentic knowledge work, alongside 81,000 output tokens per Intelligence Index task at xhigh effort.

Customer-reported

Cursor’s launch-day discussion asks users for long-session results rather than publishing a customer score.

Where it regressed

Independent evaluation found uneven movement outside agentic work. Artificial Analysis’s evaluation reports a 3.7-point decline on AA-LCR and a 1.1-point decline on AutomationBench-AA.

Under the hood

  • Base and training: xAI describes a new, larger base model plus a longer reinforcement-learning run on a harder mixture weighted toward tasks that take many hours. The launch post gives no parameter count.
  • Agent harness: training to natively understand the Grok Bot harness is meant to improve conversational work and general knowledge tasks, according to SpaceXAI's model description.
  • Context: the window remains 500,000 tokens, according to Artificial Analysis’s evaluation.
  • Safety: xAI says 4.7 uses an entirely new safeguard stack, allowed 3.3% of risky dual-use cyber prompts through on its HackerBench v0.3 test, and topped its cited LatchBio biosafety benchmark at 62.4%.

Vibe Check

minchoi’s examples roundup collects showcase posts rather than a standardized creative evaluation, but the early material is unusually centered on interactive output.
